A lot of life lived in these wonderful old homes ....sad to see them like this .I just think of fires in those fireplaces and people sitting and talking about life back then when life was simple and fulfilling .Great video as always Kappy!!
One thing I notice about old houses is the internal framing construction. I see a lot of rough-cut lumber straight from the sawmill. I'm in the process of building a log cabin in the Ozarks of Arkansas and we have cut our own logs 7 by 12 up to 22 feet long. It's given me an appreciation for the labor that went into building these older homes from the 1800s. You can't get this kind of wood anymore unless you have access to a sawmill and fortunately, we did. You can see the cabin being built on The Bearded Carpenter channel here on RUclips.
This is awesome. You're building your own log cabin. My dad was from Seligman MO. I loved taking my grandson their when he was younger to visit. The only thing I disliked was the humidity. Being from NM, that took some getting used to. If that is even a possibility? Good luck with your log cabin.
@@SilentStorm1031 Thank you. yes, the humidity is awful when it gets hot. But we're only a couple of miles off the White River. It's cooler in the shade on the river bank catching fish. LOL
Thanks Kappy always a pleasure watching your videos as we walk through the houses of the past. I love those old cars that one I believe is a 1956 Ford Fairlane.
The quality of metal roofs is proven by the fact that this place was still being used for storage where the roof hasn't come away. I'm guessing that the out building was originally a kitchen or a barn. I love that there is still a beautiful daffodil blooming just for itself. The 2nd house is falling down on it's own.
The first house looks like it has good bones the second house has beautiful fireplaces and staircase it sad to too see both house just decaying away great video kappy.
It's in really good shape except for the smashed windows. Motor looks like it's been looted. It deserves to live again rather than just sitting there forever.
@@senatorjimdracula1603I agree. I was like Wow! when I saw the shape it was in. It needs some engine love, a good clean and new glass. Body looks in great shape!
Another winner, Kappy. Being that it was a tavern at one time hobos and other sojourners probably stopped in for a couple glasses of ale after a long day. The way of life back then is pretty interesting, thanks again. 😎👍
What a welcome sight that place must've been for weary travelers. A tankard of ale, some rabbit stew on the hearth, some bread, a warm fire...wonder if husbands with wives were welcome? Thanks, Kappy!
I see you ran into your old friend Mr. Vulture. Both houses benefited from metal roofs, it takes them a long time to start leaking. I'll bet the inn kept many families warm on the road as they headed West to stake a claim in the wilderness. Even in their decaying state it's easy to imagine these houses full of the hustle and bustle of daily life. Always look forward to your uploads! Thanks again for documenting these old places
If these poor old ladies could talk! Both could tell you many a great story. I love the wooden dow constructed roof in the 1st one. Made to last. The 2nd place, man, did that one deteriorated badly. Still, both were really interesting. Have a great weekend Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along!
Thank you for another look in to the past Kappy. Really love the old staircases - where you can see the curve on the next floor (if that makes sense). Hot pad still on the side of the stove...just as someone left it. Thank you for sharing. :)
Travelers rest was awesome! Great place. Ur a brave soul walking across those sketchy floors😮. Stay safe doing that. Ty Kappy 4 breakfast and a movie! B safe.
I really loved the first place - the stories it could tell. The second place was so far gone it’s hard to get a feel for it other than it was probably quite charming when new. Thank you for another couple of great explores!
I like the first house the best. But the second house had the most wonderful standing seam tin roof! WOW- that’s why it’s lasted so long. Well done, Kappy!
Thank Kappy for showing to more beautiful houses back in there day.I wish the father would have been able to finish the renovation on the first house before his death.💚
You should come take a look at the old farmhouse. My parents are getting ready to move out of. We’re just about finish cleaning it out but it’s an old 1890s farmhouse big wraparound porch, huge attic route seller and two car garage and it’s on 180 acres down on Cobb Island, Maryland.
That "pianista auto piano" in the first place is from 1903. The 2nd house has a "Firestone electric stove" it is actually a different company than the tire company. That had me curious for sure. Learn something new everyday though. Great explore thanks for sharing and have a great day with safe travels
Cool Video 😎 love the 55/56 ford Fairlane 2 door w/automatic trans, push button radio and T-bird Gauges...wish I had it to restore, to bad the idiots busted all the glass out. Thanks Sir...Take care and stay safe buddy🤗
All of that gorgeous woodworking and trim. Magnificent. Seems the only ones who care about the beauty of these old places are always those who lack the funds to do anything about it. The owners don't care because they are inurred to the presence of beautiful things by way of having lost, through an excess of money, any appreciation of fine things, and having done so have lost respect for what is truly deserving of it
hey kapppyyyyyyyy how are youuuuu great findddddd this time i love those old iron beds i love old abanded places hey catch you later your gratefully deadicated fan i will get by i will survive
Those huge fireplaces….. fantastic. They would have been the hub of the tavern. Stews hanging in cast iron kettles. So many little crossroads would have a hotel/ tavern. Horses and buggies would be tied up, the horses fed. We are very lucky. In our village, 6 minutes from my house is a stone structure on a corner lot that did serve as a stop over. The people who last lived in it sold it to the township for 25,000. Cheap! A lot of work has been put in to the building and grounds. The upstairs hadn’t changed since the structure was built in the mid 1800’s. The entire upstairs bears the original wide pine floorboards, no walls or divisions! People slept on the floor or maybe were given bedrolls or straw filled mattresses. It just amazes me that the upstairs remains totally original. A large family lived there and yet no walls were put up, upstairs.
I love watching your videos. The very old houses. Some with everything left behind. Some to include vintage cars. This house may at one time had much left behind. However, its very obvious vandals and probably thieves have visited throughout the years and cleaned the property out of any worthu belongings. It's disgusting we have to share our world with these pathetic heathen's. From what I saw of the car, it looked similar to a 55 Chevy. I could be wrong, though. Just my guess. SHAME ON THE VANDALS WHO BROKE OUT THE WINDOWS. It's a shame these types of people exist. Thanks, Kappy, for yet another groovy explore!! P€aC€ ~n~ £0v€✌️
Hey Kappy how are you today ,I'm little late but glad to see your post,they don't make them like this anymore ,bet it was beautiful in its day,yeah that's dangerous floor,liked this one lots of twists and turns,looks like an old Chevrolet front kinda ,my papa had one a little newer than that
The Inn did not have a lot of rooms for travelers. Must have slept on settees or the floor in that giant downstairs room. Sad to see that place used as storage from a rehab project that never happened. The second house has a serious tilt to it. The upstairs was interesting though. Thanks, Kappy and becareful of those rotten floors.
Hey Kappy. Oh no, a vulture, your favorite 😅. That car was amazing. I couldn’t really tell you if it was a Chevy, Dodge🤷🏻♀️ Regardless, it was a beauty back in the day. You always make me a tad nervous on floors like that. But then I know we all wouldn’t be seeing this if something happened. I know you’re careful Kappy, but I hope you weren’t there alone. Just in case. Take care & thanks🙋🏻♀️
Im pretty sure I know where this is. I grew up in West Virginia and this place looks very familiar. I. Go ma say it sits between moorfield and Burlington off of route 50.
I just saw the video with the crazy raccoon. My neighbor got attacked by one while metal detecting in my yard. His house next door was built in 1840s. My house is on his house original farmland.
How devastating, the family loses their father and with him went the possibility of ever living in the house again. It just seemed like a heavy vibe of disappointment hung over the place. Kappy, watch out for those vultures! You always take them in stride, i'd be tripping over my own two feet to get away!
I wondered that too. There were two of those rounded things on the piano and one on a table? Looked like covered platters one would serve a whole turkey on or a boar’s head.
Everything that happened to this house / It used to be a beautiful house, a big family. They laugh, are happy, and are sad. when each of them leaves.., the house gets old .., and finally no one lives, sad to see
Not a Chevy! The area around headlights aren’t rusted out! That’s a 56 Ford Fairlane. In very good shape! Look like somebody took the radiator among others items. That’s very very worthy of restoring. Too bad not cared for. 😖
That window overlooking the roof… Love those for climbing out of to sit on the roof for peace of mind at night

That's a smart idea. Sounds like you'll have good quality materials👍
The square set 12X12 beams inside 100yr old mines, 2x12s collars. It’s amazing!
@@jeremyd1298 We were lucky to have access to a fantastic carpenter with years of knowledge to draw from.

Glad you enjoyed! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
That place has some real history and you can see a lot of it. It's like a visual timeline going through that house!
Well said!! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
So, an early Motel6? The commercial in 1835, was we'll leave the candles burning for you!
Yes!😊
55 or 56 Ford and i would love to have it to restore! Great video, Thank you!
I wish you had it to restore too so I could see it after. What a great car.
It's in really good shape except for the smashed windows. Motor looks like it's been looted. It deserves to live again rather than just sitting there forever.

That's a Player Piano, It has a roll inside, and can play by its self Neat fine.
Thanks., I have been binge watching you channel since I discovered it!
Thanks Kappy for showing the old travelers Inn pretty cool place
Much appreciated for the kind words and watching!! :)
What a welcome sight that place must've been for weary travelers. A tankard of ale, some rabbit stew on the hearth, some bread, a warm fire...wonder if husbands with wives were welcome? Thanks, Kappy!
What great imagery! Thank you for sharing and thank you very much for watching!! :)
Cool old kitchen in the second one. Nary a bathroom in sight. 🧐 Thanks for sharing! ❤
Great point!! Glad you enjoyed! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Great Explore very interesting, these old homes have a charm to them that you just can't find much today. Keep-up the good work !😊
The headlights on that Ford are amazing!!
Thank you for watching!! :)
Perfect! Just settled in for lunch & ready to enjoy your exploring!!!
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Fun to see these old forgotten places- thank you!
I love to see these old houses!!., sad to see them fall ….. thanks Kappy !!!!!

Love the details in that front door knob!
It was what we now call "Bed & Breakfast"! I see the old original aspects, especially when you discover them & show us! Thanks Kappy!😊

So much history , thanks for the tour.
Fake paneling under a rosette is a new one on me, and makes me wonder, what in the heck they were thinking?!
We really love going on your adventures. Old things are fascinating. O hell I'm old 😅
Haha much appreciated! Thank you for watching!! :)
🤩 wow that doorknob!
Right!! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Cool old
Place well done kappy allways so much history on your finds i all ways appreciate them.
Oh no another vulture lol 😂 such cool places! Thank you Kappy!
Love the critters you meet, Kappy. I think my favorite was the house that had all those bats flying around the bedroom when you opened the door!😮
@@suzannesnyder2679 oh yeah I remember that one! Beautiful house with tons of gables! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Thank you for another look in to the past Kappy. Really love the old staircases - where you can see the curve on the next floor (if that makes sense). Hot pad still on the side of the stove...just as someone left it. Thank you for sharing. :)
no video from kappy is ever crappy !!!!
Haha too kind! Thank you for watching!! :)
Travelers rest was awesome! Great place. Ur a brave soul walking across those sketchy floors😮. Stay safe doing that. Ty Kappy 4 breakfast and a movie! B safe.
Really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I love the push button light switches. I remember that second place. Thanks for bringing us along.
Kappy the building out back was likely the stable for travellers horses. House is a very well built place.
Good point! I’d believe that! Thank you for watching!! :)
I really do love your explores the best...love seeing places that time has forgotten
Can’t believe most of us had the fake paneling somewhere in our homes 😂🤣 so ugly!
But, I like it. It's a good way to have the wood look without spending too much on all the thick wood pieces. 😉👍
My parents had the real wood paneling. It was gorgeous
Some of us still do. Not by choice, obviously. :)
Still have some that's been painted over.
lol! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Beautiful houses. They built them good back then. Sad they have been left to decay. Another awesome explore Kappy.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you very much for watching and the kind words! :)
Hey Kappy! Awesome explore. You are the "vulture" magnet! Lol. Stay safe! ✌️
he is so funny 😂bees and graffiti are also his enemies.
Urban exploring with kappy thanks for sharing this video with me i really enjoyed it and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless.
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I really loved the first place - the stories it could tell. The second place was so far gone it’s hard to get a feel for it other than it was probably quite charming when new.
Thank you for another couple of great explores!
Interesting as always. Thanks Kappy!

The giant wasp nests in that carriage house! 😬
That was huge, looks like it took decades!
I was wondering if they were nests.
Exploring old homes, and guys exploring old gold mines. Both are interesting
The interior looks like parts of a jigsaw puzzle thrown around. Can tell by exterior, foundation and attic how nice it really was. Thanks, Kappy…
Cool Video 😎 love the 55/56 ford Fairlane 2 door w/automatic trans, push button radio and T-bird Gauges...wish I had it to restore, to bad the idiots busted all the glass out. Thanks Sir...Take care and stay safe buddy🤗
Wow! Great video! The car looked like a 50's era Ford Fairlane - per my husband!😂
That old stove was neat. Wonder what it would have looked like cleaned up?
Our first vulture this year. LOL Good one Kap👍
Oh yeah!! Thank you for watching!! :)

Yes indeed haha! Thank you for watching!! :)
Thanks for the "CC" That hinge was cool! ~Debbi~
56 Ford 272 Y block V8 .
hey kapppyyyyyyyy how are youuuuu great findddddd this time i love those old iron beds i love old abanded places hey catch you later your gratefully deadicated fan i will get by i will survive
I was shocked the 2nd house still had a bed upstairs!
Those look like real ivory keys on that piano. It's definitely an old one.
It also looks like a Player Piano, with those door in the front (would make sense for a tavern)...oops, or not :(
Kappy I'll bet that really big fireplace was where they did the cooking back in the 1800s.
I’d bet you are right! Thank you very much for watching!! :)

That car is a 1955 Ford Fairlane. #Aztec73 😊🇺🇲
Could I get the location? Would love to go take photos here.
Wow a car 😮! Looks like a Chevy?
How did that old water heater work?
I'm guessing a 57' Chevy. I used to have one and it looks similar.
Is This up by Canada??that car looks like a 52 Pontiac it looked like a 55 bel air from the side but I'm not sure..?
Nah closer to western Virginia mountains! Thanks for watching! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 I'm like 32 Miles from WV
First house still can be renovated. The second house is beyond any help. The car can be saved. It looks like a late 1950's Ford Fairlane maybe.
With the paint job, assume the car is a 1955 Ford Fairlane....
The Inn did not have a lot of rooms for travelers. Must have slept on settees or the floor in that giant downstairs room. Sad to see that place used as storage from a rehab project that never happened. The second house has a serious tilt to it. The upstairs was interesting though. Thanks, Kappy and becareful of those rotten floors.
If the walls could talk. A lot of history went through those old houses. The car looks like it would be a 1957 Oldsmobile. I might be wrong.

They were built better back then🙏🏼🇺🇸🩵
I believe that was an old ford fairlane.

calm, cool, and collected;

What is that on the piano?
I wondered that too. There were two of those rounded things on the piano and one on a table? Looked like covered platters one would serve a whole turkey on or a boar’s head.
It does need to be saved
That's a 1955 or 56 Ford.
it's a .😮😊player piano Kappy
Everything that happened to this house / It used to be a beautiful house, a big family. They laugh, are happy, and are sad. when each of them leaves.., the house gets old .., and finally no one lives, sad to see
I would say that's a 1955 Ford Fairlane.
was this a Kellie House?
Not a Chevy! The area around headlights aren’t rusted out! That’s a 56 Ford Fairlane. In very good shape! Look like somebody took the radiator among others items. That’s very very worthy of restoring. Too bad not cared for. 😖
That second house is going to collapse any time. You should have rescued the newel post.
It's all about location..

It looks like an old Chevy .I could be wrong.
